Electronic fee collection. Interoperable application profiles for information exchange between service provision and toll charging. | Status: Current

1 Scope This document specifies interoperable application profiles for information exchanges between toll chargers (TCs) and toll service providers (TSPs), by selecting suitable options from the base standardEN ISO 12855:2022. This document covers:

• — exchange of information between back end systems of TCs and TSPs, e.g.:
  • — charging related data (toll declarations, billing details, payment claims, payment announcements);
  • — administrative data (trust objects, EFCcontext data, contact details for enforcement, etc.);
  • — user related data (exception lists, user details, abnormal OBE information, CCC event data, user complaints);
  • — confirmation data.
• — transfer mechanisms and supporting functions;
• — semantics of data elements;
• — formal definitions (Annex A) of restrictions on data types w.r.t. the ASN.1 definitions in the base standardEN ISO 12855:2022 by introducing an XML Schema Definition (XSD) for each specified profile;
• — implementation conformance statement proforma (Annex B), as a basis for evaluation of implementation for conformity to this document;
• — an interoperability statement proforma (Annex C), as a basis for assessment of transactional interoperability of two technical implementations;
• — a web service definition (Annex D) for the use of web services as communication technology.

The implementation of the underlying back end systems and their business processes is not covered. Therefore, the following aspects are outside the scope of this document:

• — details about how back end systems use the authenticatordata elements of the base standard to implement security;
• — how to operate compliance checking and the enforcement process;
• — commercial aspects;
• — definition of non-functional features such as performance indicators, acceptable fault levels, availability of interfaces of TC and TSP, and reporting requirements.

This document further explains the correspondence between the European electronic toll service (EETS) legislation and this document (Annex E).
